The Ladies' Club of Poinciana will presentits annual scholarship award to Tina Gardner at a salad and dessert luncheon at noon Monday at the Community Center. Gardner will be graduating from Osceola High School next month and plans to attend the University of Central Florida.

This is the 10th year the club has presented scholarships to deserving students. Representatives from organizations in the community that have been recipients of donations from this group have been invited to attend the luncheon.

-- Due to the renovation of the firehouse, the annual Spring Fling sponsored by the Poinciana Volunteer Fire Department usually held in April was postponed and will be held from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. Saturday . This year, the firefighters are combining the Spring Fling with an open house for Poinciana residents with food and drinks furnished by the fire department.

If you have a child interested in scouting, this will be a great opportunity to meet the leaders and several of the Scouts; they will be providing entertainment and displaying their skills learned through scouting. Last month Bill Anderson, Buddy Altman, Karen Bourne, Tad DeGroat, Tim Federline, Bob Jablonski and Mark Roberts joined the fire department. These firefighters come from diversified backgrounds and several have varied degrees of firefighting and emergency medical experience.

The department is organizing a dive team. If you have scuba diving experience, are certified and interested in this program, contact Dale McGough at 813/427-0611.

-- If you have a few extra pounds and inches you would like to lose before trying to squeeze into last year's bathing suit you are invited to join a group of women who have fun exercising to music at the Community Center. Classes are from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. Monday through Thursday. There is no charge.

-- The Crafts and Needlework Group meets at 10 a.m. Thursdays at the Community Center. Poinciana residents are invited to bring knitting, crocheting, sewing or other craft projects to come and enjoy by sharing and learning from others.
